Carl Birsa Elected to EACA Hall of
Fame.
The votes are
in and Carl Birsa, founder of CB Displays, has been elected to
the EACA Hall of Fame posthumously.
CB (as Carl was known) started in the tradeshow industry in the
mid 1950’s in Chicago. In 1969, with his wife Annie, he formed
CB Display Service, Inc. CB passed away in 1990. His trademark
Sherlock Holmes style hat conjures up fond memories for family,
friends and clients that …“Tradeshows are no mystery to CB”.
Originally from Chicago, Birsa moved his son Dennis along with
Paul Willet to Las Vegas in
1976 to establish the office. While there they
helped to pioneer the growth of the I&D labor segment of the
industry. CB, as he was known to his family, friends,
and colleagues passed away in 1990.
Dennis Birsa, accompanied by his daughter Kelsey Ann, accepted the
Hall of Fame trophy on behalf of his father and delighted all in
attendance with memories and stories about his father, CB.
Birsa concluded his acceptance speech with a “toast” to his
Dad in trademark CB fashion.
